The Jean Beliveau Auction- February 2005
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/22/2005
This is the very last in an incalculable amount of autographs which the legendary Maurice Richard signed in his lifetime. It was obtained from Sonia Raymond, Richard's companion in his later years, and who was by the Rocket's side during a signing of commemorative stamped envelopes in February of 2000. Miss Raymond relates the story of how Maurice signed this day of issue piece and then collapsed, having to be taken to hospital. Richard penned a very shaky signature next to his stamp and added "9". In French, Raymond wrote above "last signature of Maurice before going to heaven". The thought-provoking, tear-jerking piece will be accompanied by Sonia Raymond's signed LOA.
